The FIRST thing that strikes the Ameri-
cam notice most prominently Is the EN-
ployment of women in SO many Of the
public places, where only men are en-
ployed with Us. The person who dispenses
drinks in the London drinking places La
almost invariably q sharp featured, stony
faced, business looking m They nre
very direct and expeditions. They ignore
the general conversation Of their custom
ers, but occasionally give forth a rafting
machine laugh over some ancient joke OF
gilded British youth. You find them at
all OF the hotels. Instead of being con-
fronted with a smiling, diamond ornn-
mented American clerk, you meet a sad
faced, dismal, detected looking young
woman, who, In a husky whisper, asks
you to register, and who assigns you n
room, then shuts VI under q mantle of re-
serve INT withdraws to the interior of the
Office.
No Information Is ever volunteered at
any English hotel. The rooms ut the hotels
as a general thing are uncomfortable for
Americans, because they are rarely II ever
heated. The system OF heating is by open
CRATES. This would be well enough II the
CRATES were of any size or had any capacity.
The average CRATE IN o London hotel room
is about the size OF a two quart basket
and 1t Is always expected to heat q room
14xl8 on an average. The extreme damp
ness of the atmosphere comes in all around
the room, SO that comfort can be main
tained only by lowering right over the
CRATE itself. 1t must DO that these rooms
are uncomfortable for the natives them
selves.-T. c. Crawford in New York

A well known sporting man, under the
influence of too much wine, occupied a
chair in one OF the most popular and fash
ionable of the down town resorts of bank
ers, brokers and merchants, and so stupid
was he that the best efforts Of his friends
to keep him from public exhibition were
long ~unavailing. Eventually one of the
barkeepers shook him up a bit, when he
aroused somewhat, but fell off in n deep
slumber again. In half an hour another
and more successful attempt was made,
when he incoherently inquired rs to his
whereabouts. He then put his hand into
his trousers pocket, took out a penknife
and asked the barkeeper to open the
smaller blade. ''This is all o X" said
the latter. ''It's the old racket. He won't
hurt nobody. You'll see." And then he
slipped the handle end into the grasping
fingers of the old sport, who opened his
mouth and made three or four superficial
incisions on the roof. Within a minute
after the flow Of blood he was upon his
feet, and under friendly guidance reached
the door, and when last seen he was walk
ing up the street as straight as a bee flies.
John Morrissey was the first mar that l
saw do that, said the barkeeper, as he
tossed up a coffee bean and dexterously
caught it in his mouth,-New York

THANK You" in England,

In the United States one can say
THANK you" in return for some service
without mourning the danger of being
taken for a servant or n person in q posi-
ton where he is not above being tipped.
To say THANK you" In England puts you
at once on n level with the people VIII
have their heads set at an alert angle, on
guard for the coy shilling, the nimble six
pence, the familiar "thrippence," 'tup-
pence" penny or ha'penny. "Thank
YOU" pronounced either "Thank 70" or
THANK yew,' meets you at every turn.
@ cannot say q word to any of the
small tradesmen or the servant class
without hearing It as n reply to your
every sentence which is not a direct ques-
ton. Among the few people in the linn
tied circle where tips are not expected or
received, grateful Acknowledgements are
expressed by the phrase, "~Thahnks," or

gather nothing but the widest and most
incoherent tales. His fainting wife was
in the first stage of brain fever, and 1t was
many n long day before she could answer
his questions.

despatch from Hartford says: After many
hearings and much cogitation and bordering the
great question that has convused Governor Louns-
bury and caused more or less comment throughout
the State has been settled. There will be no extra
session OF the legislature this year consider the
grade crossing matter. The Governor reached this
decision yesterday, and in day or two his formal
announcement of the fact will be made.
Whatever may have influenced the Governor in
his final decision it may be said that the unanimity
Of expression against extra session by the State
press had more to do with it than any other one
thing One Of the Governors failings is sensitive
ness to criticism. He don't like it, and experiences
in the past in this direction have taught him les
son that he will never forget. AS almost the united
press Of the State confronted him he was fearful
Of the consequences, and rather than stand the
comment that would necessarily follow he came to
the conclusion that the results to be obtained were
not imperative or pressing enough to Justify the
means of their accomplishment
But laying all this aside the Governor was dis
appointed in measure at the strength that ex-
pected to materaze in favor of the extra sessions
at the public hearings. From Fairfield county,
other portions of the State there was concerted
action, and whatever influence could be secured
was scattering. There was scarcely no one to op.
pose the scheme with any degree of warmth and
this seeming carelessness in connection with the
other side of the question gave him to understand
that whatever necessity there was for more rap

number and was composed of about one
hundred and fifty men. It was one of the
largest bodies of g. A R. in the procession.
They were accompanied by the Second Regi-
ment band of New Haven with twenty-five
